my jewish friend is doing her final math project on the structure of the israeli governmental system

one of the people in our group is very staunchly and vocally pro-palestine anti-israel

we're presenting our projects next friday

i am scared.

#to be clear she's not doing the project on anything related to the war she's just modeling the parliamentary system but #the pro palestine guy ALWAYS asks questions about peoples presentations #and hes definitely a nice guy (nothing on the level of ''from the river to the sea'' at least from what he been saying in the group chat) #not a violent man in general but i am. #still not convinced he wont ask 'as an extension how does this apply to the genocide' type questions #we've talked to him about saying that stuff in the group chat but #i have no idea how to shut it down if he says anything to her ANY suggestions are welcome PLEASE #last thing i want to happen is a big ole fight during finals time ykyk bc she will feel guilty and unsafe forever #cards on the table obviously im backing my jewish friend if that happens but i think she would rather it not happen at all.. #genuinely asking for advice on shutting him down politely and nonconfrontationally if he speaks btw #ih #pers #my school is not as bad as colombia by a long stretch #but i still have had to peel 'down with israel' 'free palestine' stickers off the jewish part of the interfaith center multiple times

i'm trying not to think about it since it's getting overwhelming and i swear i wish i could forget but the way ferrari has been handling the situation since monza it's just so unfair and inhumane in any level. i'm tired of talking about racing, i know the car is understeery and not made for charles. if they want him to be a sidekick then fine. if you want to pretend he didn't do anything during the race and acknowledge him 24 after (even though you had time to thank someone from another team), fine then.

but i simply cannot get over the fact someone of the team was speaking about the right dictatorship, when charles was standing there, and they would post it on main. charles has been harrassed by the media, by carlos fans and his family and ferrari didn't say or did a thing. got people talking about jules, about his weight, people ironically calling him too soft or "less of a man" physically (sick) than his teammate. ferrari could at least stand by him i guess?

idk what more he needs to do for you to treat him with a bit of human decency. if you can't do it out of respect maybe do it out of shame.

#i swear i'm trying to keep this discourse to the discord but it's not always possible #i'm not even speaking on the fact of him being discarded as if he is nothing because good gracious it's been three days and i'm like this #charles leclerc #cl16 discourse #<- blacklist this tag if in need #also if you are not acknowledging all of it and keep thinking it's all okay because charles is polite and will say nice things #you are just as evil as all of them

my roommate thinks that I don’t deserve privacy just because I don’t have my own room, he can’t take the hint from me sleeping on the couch or staying in the garage bathroom, he has to provoke and invade me every moment he isn’t busy, but if I try to actually have a conversation he just ignores me

#And he made weird remarks about my gender and stuff like that… #He asks things I clearly don’t want to answer and the more uncomfortable I am with answering a question the harder he presses me #He’s always making noises and shit at me and then he gets angry that I don’t like him #He insists on talking to me for a few seconds like every half hour when he has literally nothing to say #He never does any of this to our other roommate!! And our other roommate never bothers me! #I always am nice when I talk and when he blurts out something random and there’s no way to respond I just politely nod or ignore him #He called me ‘a little brat’ when I told him to close the door while i called my friends. I already told him before that I was calling! #He also has left the stove on at least three times where I had to turn it off for him #It just doesn’t bother him at all to see anyone uncomfortable #And he acts like he’s a normal person for doing all this. If you don’t react how he wants then he treats you like you’re being weird

I don’t think hyeonseong needed to remember dokja’s order to think about him if something goes wrong. I think he’s just always thinking abt dokja

and I love him for that

#Loyal puppy man #going post #Orv #‘Hey can you hit me again? and do it really hard’ kinky #‘no wait. just kill me right now’ UM. I RESCIND THAT LAST STATEMENT. #I don’t remember what his new attribute is how is dokja gonna cheat death this time #HYEONSEONG CHARACTER PROGRESSION FUCKING FINALLY #I’ve missed him…. deprogram your military propaganda boy itll be good for you #‘There is no third option this time’ ok my first instinct was to take him at face value but dokja is always planning and scheming so #maybe he’s just saying that so hyeonseong will make his own third option out of determination. #to teach him to like… not rely on dokja so much #maybe not the best phrasing but I think u get my point #next episode and I’m immediately confirmed right. AWESOME but also #Would have been nice to have delayed that gratification for a bit #let me step into a side character’s pov for a moment instead of having dokja tell me everything #‘I thought you considered me the standard you should strive for. If so then do as I say!’ ‘That’s not the kind of book I want to go by!’ #YEAHHHHH HYEONSEONG!!!! MAKE YOUR OWN BOOK! GET THAT CHARACTER GROWTH #‘I see. Well done.’ Dokja you want to be a constellation so bad #It’s already been confirmed tht that’s his goal but it’s been so obvious for a while #Like he keeps putting himself in mentor roles all the time. n constellations aren’t necessarily as close mentors as dokja has been #But they’re still essentially That #WAH HIS HANDS?? HUH??? #yeah yeah uh huh I was right dokja was helping hyeonseong learn his lesson on his own also HIS HANDS????? #*HIS ARMS???* GUYS. #‘until the scenario reaches an apocalypse’ bestie ur already in an apocalypse #Ofmy god he has to melt and then cool down a thousand times? what the hell #HUIWON CHARACTER PROGRESSION TOO?? YIPPEE!!!!! #aww a hug……. Even though he must be fucking scorching hot…. How sweet ^_^ #and hyeonseong was so polite too he’s such a sweetie #oh I was confused for a second but he literally snuffed the flame! smart

(Sandalphon voice) It's all about the freedom the choose and being true to yourself... some people want to choose to inherit the coffee cafe they love... some people want to choose a different gender... some people want to choose to ruin their coffee by making it wrong...

That's the summary of his Grand FE, 100%

It's about free will! free will to have a nice place to take care of, free will to explore your gender identity, free will to be wrong,

#ichareply #ichafantalks gbf #anonymous #ichablogging gbffe #like also not to be emo but i love love that Granblue is really taking a time to say 'trans right is part of our thesis' yaknow? #like if Granblue's thesis is all about free will and about being true to yourself and loving yourself for who you are #and helping one another and always be able to come back when you go on a wrong path ect... #and not to mention the bigger political threads like the themes of the dragon weeps by daylight #but it's SO NICE that therefore Granblue went 'and respecting trans rights is part of this thesis' #because this freedom and free will and self love is everything the game has been about #you're free to do everything. Even fuck up your coffee. #ALSO love that in the same FE Sandalphon looks tenderly to the trans women helping an egg because of how they fit this thesis #he also gets to have a rage moment (while trying to be understanding) about bad coffee preparation #like something hysterical for newcomers to see Sandalphon be 'Trans rights are cool! But don't fuck your coffee up.' #anyway. Granblue.....

Remember when I was 21, in job training, and had a major crush on the vice mayor aka my 2nd boss who was 12 years older than me?

Well get ready for the sequel where I am 29, in a full-time job in a different town and have a major on crush on the head of my department aka my 1st boss below the mayor, who's 5 years older than me and a friend's cousin.

#my friend actually started this #right when I started working with him she was always talking to me and asking me about him #like she kept asking if I found him attractive #and she read into every nice thing he did for me #and telling me how thrilled she'd be if I became part of her family #but I was all polite and like naaah he's my boss #but...well...I have no pokerface #so SHE KNEW #but I figured this was like a tiny minor crush #and then the other day it sounded like he was really into blondes and I caught myself being disappointed?? #and idk it just went downhill from then on #still going strong on unrealistic crushes #but what can I say...he is very charming and sweet and has a very cute laugh

don’t tell me they aren’t kissing, bc they were kissing here too

#DCB Comments #DimiClaude #i meant to post this earlier and forgot... like usual lol #edelgard definitely tricked lysithea into thinking she'd get sweets on this banner #but rly she was trying to get someone else to be there instead of making it a three lords banner #bc every time it's a three lords banner she has to Put Up With Them #as soon as she saw the banner number she immediately went to lysithea about it #listen me and edelgard don't just make this stuff up. intsys just leaves the evidence behind constantly #and they make no effort to cover up their tracks so it's not like we can't find the proof #also mind you unfortunately for lysithea claude is not concerned with teasing her with dimitri around #he teases her but when she gets all feisty about it dimitri calms her down very politely and kindly #and lysithea is nice to him in response. and when she's nice about it! dimitri offers to buy her sweets! #and don't tell me this isn't EXACTLY what happened all week on this banner bc dimitri tricked ash into getting sweets from him too #he gets lysithea to put up with claude with sweets! claude in response is very excited bc he can keep teasing! #edelgard got lucky that this worked out better than she expected bc she's now hoping lysithea will always #be their third wheel and put up with Their Kissing #and I KNOW they're kissing bc these are the same versions that were ~away from the castle for some time~ alone together #mind you it wasn't just some time it was QUITE some time so that was a goddamn MAKEOUT #that was a date and a makeout so i know exactly what's happening okay i know i really do know these things :) #DCB Heroes Stuff

sorry I literally had my phone down eyes closed ready to at least try to sleep but I remembered something that happened yesterday that still boils my blood and I need to talk about it. my sister seriously has the audacity to be constantly seethingly jealous and bitter of me and my brother's good relationship and then will not even treat him like a human being it's just fucking baffling. we were at a restaurant and me and him were having a conversation about tv and then she puts her phone up right in front of his face to show our dad her instagram, completely blocking us from being able to talk and see each other. and the whole time she's going wow look at this photo look at this look how silly I look in this one! and my brother COMPLETELY REASONABLY. because the back of the phone is right in his face and he's hearing about how great these photos are. asks my sister is he can see them. and then she told him off for it! can you kill yourself!

#and then when I said hey come on why can't you just satiate his curiousity and show him the photo (it was completely appropriate btw) #and said that it's not fair to treat him like that. my father got mad at ME. #and then I perfectly nicely was like ok fine how about he just sits next to me so we can talk and you guys can talk without him being #completely ignored and treated like an annoyance #and my dad was like no! he can wait a few minutes for our conversation to end! damn you guys didn't do that for OUR conversation! #and then he just shoved a game in his hands to entertain him like why can't we just talk oh my god #treating him like he was impatient or rude during that is what is driving me up the wall he was completely polite and just wanted to see #what the rest of the table were all talking about. and just to like be acknowledged #it always annoys me when a kid asks for something like four times or whatever to no response until finally they get yelled at #like just acknowledge they spoke! say ok hold on I'll tell you when we're done talking. or whatever. that's all you have to do #just not make them completely fucking invisible??? #and then again my sister acts so shocked and annoyed that he likes me more. yeah no shit you're awful to him

[britneyshakespeare]

it is weird being an aromantic asexual who is incidentally attractive. like. i just came back from a concert with my friends who have known me for years and know that about me. some of the very few real-life friends who know that about me actually and i only told them relatively recently. regardless. the only reason i had bothered to bring it up w them is that they had seen me in SO many situations that telling them “i’m asexual” was if anything just clarification. just confirmation, like, don’t worry. it’s not an inability to attach to others or whatever. if you can’t tell. like they’d seen me be pursued by quite a few people in our time as friends and at some point it seems like a curious thing if i only ever seem to feel negatively about anyone who’s attracted to me, ever, no matter who it is. and they were understanding and i knew they’d be. yeah.

we were talking on the way back about bucket list concerts we’d still like to see. we saw stromae which was a really big one of mine (my fucking boy btw, i had an amazing time). i mentioned that i don’t have very many, as i’m rarely the person to be like “yeah, let’s go to a concert” unless i have people i know i wanna go with. like i’ve been meaning to see the jonas brothers w my sister and sisters-in-law ever since they came back because it’d be a fun thing for us since we always listen to them together. 

but i would genuinely love to see super junior someday, like just for myself, wherever whenever if i was just able to get transportation (i don’t drive). i’ve loved suju for years but i got really back into them in 2020 in the pandemic as a sort of nostalgia comfort thing (but also the music they’ve put out in recent years is like, literally the best in their discography, they just keep getting better w age). and i had to go on this tangent to explain it, right?

in the first months of the pandemic, there was something weird happening to people psychologically. some kind of end-of-the-world loneliness. i mentioned that i had like 5 or 6 different people in my DMs at the time interested in me. not all of them men. and the friend who was driving said “you know, diana, if this were literally anyone else talking, i would think that this is some enormous humblebrag—”

and i like. didn’t even think about it that way. i was just trying to make my point that i had a serious thought in 2020 of like, when the world opened back up, just doing one (1) seriously manipulative thing in my life and convince one of those men who was thirsting for me to buy me tickets to super junior and go with me. it was hypothetical. this hasn’t happened and all but certainly will not. i would not feel good taking advantage of someone’s feelings like that. 

but i had to go on a tangent even before that because i was like. oh my goodness. i didn’t even realize that was a humblebrag. i’m sorry. i’m just telling a story.

#the politics of being a pretty young woman #tales from diana #i also wouldn't have felt comfortable telling anyone that anecdote about myself if they had known less about me than my friends i was with #so i guess i wouldn't be in danger of humblebragging. but sometimes i think i do? by mistake. #like when i talk about my social life in the past i always mention no one openly liked me in high school. not one person. #it very much affected how i saw myself. bc bullshit. young girls. male approval. y'know. #but in retrospect now i'm better able to tell when a boy had some kind of crush on me so i might mention it like 'he thought i was cute' #and one time a different friend i had. but one who i have also told im asexual (im trying to do that more) said to me #'you know for how unpopular you say you were in high school it seemed like a lot of ppl liked you' #i mean. yes? it's complicated. i was most certainly not popular i can tell you that. #i was more of a 'hey goob nice binder' 'hey goob wanna hang out at my house after school?' [narration: they all hated me...] kinda kid. #i probably kept myself from making friends wo realizing it but also lots of cliques i would've liked to be part of very much ignored me. #i was hot on the margins. a truly underrepresented social archetype... except that's literally every teen movie so maybe not. #i didn't have a big win in the final act that's the difference. #also before the concert we were talking about one of our other friends who is just. so fuckin funny. #like we were all talking about how much we love him. and they said they had been talking about who in the group chat we're in #has the most 'pull' and im like. pull? #like who could pick up the most ppl successfully. hypothetically. #both of them ranked me high :^) i was like. thank you. #they asked me to ponder on the topic myself and try to come back to it but i think im just confused by the concept of 'pull' itself #stromae has pull. that is all.

Cannot believe that Slate has more advice columns than ever before and all of them suck now.

They cannot afford a single person who understands why people used to read their advice columns, apparently. If you're not good at giving advice AND you're not funny or genuinely fun to read, why are they paying you?

I feel almost obligated to assume that someone in charge of them doesn't understand why people read advice columns.

#to be abundantly clear I disliked Daniel too #I've NEVER liked his writing even before Slate and was always politely befuddled that people thought he was SO FUNNY #but he got the job at Slate and morphed immediately into someone achingly sincere at all times #They've gone to great lengths to get you to click on advice columns without showing you who wrote it now #But Daniel's advice was so unfunny AND boring and often incredibly clueless I don't been a byline to pick it out #To put out a Dear Prudence book and he's at the helm? Violence #Also i take back almost everything nice I've ever said about the sex advice column #they've badly fumbled like 8 out of the last 20 letters and I think they've been told to not give X kind of specific advice #Jenee is like 10x better than Daniel was and she's STILL not particularly funny or interesting #but at least she understands human motivations and calls people out on their BS

*sending an email asking for interview feedback as if that wasn't the best interview of my life and if you made me interview again I would burst into tears'

#Stage fright do be frightening #It was such a good interview too #I couldn't have asked for that interview to go any better than it did other than if he offered me the job at the end #Just wasn't enough sadly #Even though it's been like 4 days since the rejection message #I wrote a very friendly and polite email though so hopefully I'll get a nice response back #I think I really was very close to getting the job but we'll have to see #I always forget that interviews aren't usually a one and done kinda thing #That you really want them to ask you to interview again #I just get so nervous #Like how could I top what I already put my all into #Beeg sigh #I'll just have to keep an eye out for any other job openings at that facility #Or pray that the not so great interview I did for the other job was good enough #I'm sending that interviewer an email tomorrow morning as well #Hoping some extra info will beef up my candidacy for the job #Or at least remind him that I exist and am willing to put my all into whatever job I manage to land #Getting down to the wire now #If every job I apply for takes 2 weeks just to give me even a vague idea of how well I'm faring then I'm fucked #There's less than a month left in this program and I have to have a job squared away before it ends #Or they'll try to shove me in whatever role is available #I can always go back home but that's quitter talk and also might get me blacklisted in the industry #Plus I'd have to payback the bonus which wouldn't be so bad if it was 1 for 1 but it was taxed so damn heavily #That I'd be out like 800 bucks ugh #Oh the anxiety

any animal we bring into our household gets exponentially weirder and i used to wonder if it was just our taste in pets but honestly it's just that when you listen to your animals and are delighted when they express opinions you end up with pets that are unafraid to be bizarre little gremlins and it's fucking hilarious.

#this post sponsored by street fighter excitedly telling me all the things that happened in the backyard overnight #while purring madly and falling off the trash can #he's gotten so vocal in the last two months which is great cause he sounds like a broken party favor #he's also taken to attacking me through the curtains when he's Pumped which is always exciting even if the curtains are taking a beating #he doesn't run and hide nearly as much anymore; he's way nosier now #on the other hand puca is finally getting over being Too Nice to street fighter #i wrapped him in a towel and trimmed his toenails while he squeaked sadly and puca was like....Holy Shit #and now he doesn't Politely Leave if SF gets too close or expresses interest in his toy

My favorite thing is people saying something like "I hope you're feeling a little better now?" when i have to admit i couldn't do something due to health issues. Like. I don't. But for the sake of not making this awkward, yes of course i feel a lot better now

#my professors are so funny #i asked one of them (the head of the department) if i had to provide a doctor's note because I'm taking too long for my degree #and she just went 'it is very important you make it clear from when to when you were ill' #like sweetie babygirl please #this has been going on for 80 years and there is no end to this lmao #the other one already asked me in summer if i was doing better i missed some classes during the semester #and me just awkwardly going 'yeeees I'm fine now ahahaha' #and then a few months later having to send him an email saying i couldn't do much of the work i was supposed to do #because of some health issues #and he again being like 'aw that's fine. i hope you're ok now' #please #let me have some peace lol #it's really embarrassing when you always have to say 'yeah well I'm having some health issues' and people expect those to go away #i feel like I'm making excuses because i think people don't believe me when I keep saying I've been struggling with some health issues #because clearly you can't ALWAYS be sick?! #I'm gonna cry #(also i know they just try to be nice and polite and all #and i appreciate that #but it's not like i can say 'no' in response to that lmao #so at a certain point it just gets weird) #shut up amy

The thing about IDW OP is that yeah he's a bastard but also the vast majority of people in this continuity are also bastards, so IMHO Optimus is more or less an average person in terms of the story he's in and is in fact one of the more moral people in the story. So like I both agree and disagree with the idea that he's a bastard? Like yeah he is but also IDW1 is a gritty, realistic, morally complicated storyline so is he actually noteworthy in being a bastard or is he just a Narratively Appropriate Character with characterization and actions that Suit The Narrative Tone And Theme?

#squiggposting #idw op love #like idk the way people talk about idw op being a bastard confuses me sometimes #not only because people almost always take his actions completely out of context #but also because...hes literally just a guy lmao #like imagine someone watching GOT or ASO/IAF and calling all the characters evil #because they want to be head of a monarchist state #like bro that's just the setting that's just the genre of the story #it's the same with OP in idw1 #did you honestly expect that an optimus arising from a society of oppression where he was partially culpable #would just be a g1 style hee hoo funny jokes basketball dad? come on now #idw1 deals with themes that are too complicated and political for its version of optimus #to be unoffensive and passive and nice the way the fandom wants him to be lmao #worse is when people try to act like he's?straight up evil #some of you people genuinely dont realize that being good doesnt always mean being nice
